   Could somebody with easy access to BYTE please put that program on the
bboard
 (assuming it is not of unreasonable size)?  I don't get BYTE, but I do have
  Turbo, and I'd like to be sure of the status of the version I have, bugs
  and all.  
  
  If the program is too big for reasonable posting, I'll try some other way.
